KensingtonHotel Seorak

오래된 호텔이라서 시설은 크게 기대 안했었는데, 엔틱한 느낌과 설악산 뷰에 반해서 예약했는데 그 부분은 생각 이외로 너무 좋았어요~퇴실하는 아침에 뷰가 너무 이뻤어요! 이쁜 사진도 많이 남겼구요~ 그리고, 호텔 직원들도 너무 친절했습니다. 더 퀸 양식당과 조식을 이용했는데요, 특히 여왕의 만찬 너무 맛있고 좋았습니다~ 다만, 중앙공급 형식의 에어컨과 중앙등이 없는게 살짝 아쉬웠고, 화장실의 수도꼭지도 온수.냉수 따로 구분되어 있어서 물온도를 맞출땐 살짝 번거로움이 있었어요~

설악산 풍경이 멋진 호텔입니다! 조식도 맛있고 직원들 친절하셨어요 시설 낡은건 감안하셔야 합니다~

엄마와함께했던 소중한여행이였어요.엄마가호텔을좋아하셔서 뿌듯했구요.생각지않았던 웰컴티와5천원추가해서먹은 (1인당5천원추가하면 스낵바이용가능.)망고치즈케익이 그리워지네요..너무맛있고 좋은시간였어요..아침조식은 기대했던만큼은아니였지만 그래도만족했어요.제가블로그보고 너무기대를많이했었나봐요.과일이며 이모저모신경많이쓴티가나요. 엄마는밥과나물이 너무맛있으셨다네요. 맘껏맛있게 먹었답니닷~~~~~^^ 오래된건물이라 방안에서살짝 냄새나는것과 욕실의 곰팡이낀테두리는 어쩔수없죠~^^;;;; 그래도 다시가도좋은호텔에 한표입니다. 사진찍기좋아하시는엄마께 좋은추억남겨드렸어요. 설악케이블카도태워드리고...위치도좋은호텔이죠. 설악산에서실컷즐기고...호텔에서묵고 아침조식하고나오기 딱좋았네요.

색다른 분위기, 조식 맛있음, 설악산 가까움, 방은 올드함 모텔수준 리모델링이 필요함.

Location is excellent if u plan to visit seoraksan. However, it is some distance from town. Hence there are no convenience stores or eateries around. Front counters were vert friendly and helpful. However, room maker up was quite sloppished. In fact, properly the worst I had experienced. Nonetheless, as we are not so particular and we were dead beat after hike each day, we were least concern to see room was still relatively messy n bed was not properly made (I made better beds at home).

Dated room. Not much amendities at hotel. Good location, walking distance to national park, staffs are generally bnoce

Great english buffet breakfast. Amazing location just beside the national park for morning hikes. Great service by staff whom all communicate in good English and Mandarin. The hotel itself has floors that showcase collections by singers, actors and athletes.

The hotel is located right outside of the Seorak mountain. Great location!!! The staffs are very helpful and friendly. We got there early and they let us checked in early. The hotel is decorated with old english style and it shows the age throughout the room. The carpet can be replaced and some other things in the room. Our room had a very nice view of the mountain. Overall it was a very convenient and a nice stay. If you want to go Seorak mountain for an easy access, i would definitely recommend it.

Was really looking forward to my stay at the Kensington Hotel Seorak. But when I pay $263AU / night I have a certain expectation that a 4 star hotel will live up to the hype. The service at the check-in desk and in the restaurant was excellent. The hotel itself exudes 'history' and it was interesting spending time looking at the library, hallways and various displays on offer. The menus were adequate for our stay and we spent 29000KRW on the chicken and beer offer on the first night and the steak and wine (120000KRW) on the second night. Breakfasts were 29000KRW/pp or 10% off if you book at check-in were also value for money. However several aspects let the hotel down. Hot water was hard to get - I tried for an afternoon shower and again at midnight with no luck. Larger hotels in Korea tend to have central control over the air conditioning, so if you like a cool room you'll be out of luck by October?? Even having the small window open, and turning of the 'air conditioning, the room was stuffy. Having found a laundry bag and order form I was told that the hotel no longer offered that service. Disappointing. The towels were worn / frayed on the edges (they've passed their useabe date) and though the hotel room we were in had a great view the windows were so grubby it was hard to really enjoy the view. While I appreciate COVID has had an impact on the hotel industry generally, I'm pretty certain that the Kensington, with its views and proximity to Seoraksan, faired better than most. While I would stay here again I would like to think that for prime pricing the Kensington could up its game and ensure that such small issues were addressed.
